4 QUEER COMBINE.

The combination between Messrs
Mcclellan and Montgomery, is
causing considerable comment.
Mr.. Mcclellan is generally credit
ed with being the chief manipula-
tor ofthe famous Red Circular, and
is, in consequence, not the choice of
Madison parish for Sheriff. The
choice of Mr.. Montgomery for
Sheriff is said to be Mr.. Mcclellan,
and 1t is hard to understand why.
The only reason advanced for this
preference, is, that Mr.. Montgom-
cry has personal grudge againgt
mir. Holmes, and to crafty that
grudge he advocates Mr.. Mcclellan
for Sheriff. But is it not asking a
a little too much of the people Of
Madison, to enter into this contro-
versy and 60 against Mr.. Holmes
simply because MIR. Montgomery
has a grievance? If there is any
other reason for this opposition,
than the old grudge, why trot it
out, and let it be known. You now
have good sheriff; no parish in
the State has q better, and it is
ridiculous to ask you to put him
out, because Mr.. Montgomery has
a grudge against him. 1t would be
much wiser, and of far greater ben
eft to the parish, to relegate Mr..
Montgomery to private life where
he was generally popular than
to re-elect him to the Senate,
where he has simply igured-
as Zone of thirty six"

STICK TO THE FACTS.

In replying to the article in the
TIMES last week on the Senator.
ship, the Item says:
And the labored efforts Of the TIMES
to put a distorted and wrong cOnstruc
ton upon his action in that matter
will not be cOuntenanced by our peo-
pie. The publication Of part of the
official proceedings where all are nee
essary for the full understanding Of the
subject is an act of unfairness to Mr..
Montgomery, and diScreditalbe to a
public journal etc.
The Item is simply misrepI e.
senting the TINES. This paper
stated, that it was informed that
Mr.. Montgomery said, at the Cot
ton Tax Meeting that in order to
define his position he begged leave
TO read an extract from the Senate
Journal, that he read the extract
quoted, and then sat down. That
was the information the TINES re-
ceived, and that Mr.. Montgomery
made no further explanation. If
this is true, the failure to fully e1
plain the matter is Mr.. Montgom-
ery's failure. fit is not true then
tn, TIMES. is wrongly informed.
Ii Mr.. Montgomery read more
than the extract quoted, this paper
has been misinformed, but if more
was not read then there has beer
no wrong construction or distortion

Mr.. Fleming puts up a very pref

dent, and gives the law for It. But
unfortunately the law he quotes Is
purely a evil matter andls simply
to fix a place for the purpose OF
bringing civil suits. 1t has moth :
ing to do with the matter at issue.
4 man may elect where he will
locate his domicile for purely civil
matters bat an actual bona fde
residence for the right of suffrage,
is a very different matter. Mr..
Flaming's law is from the Re
vised Code of 1870 but the cOnsti-
tuition of 1S79is later authority and
upsets the apparently strong case
made out.
Art. 1913 of the Constitution says

The Glen Roy Shindy.

GLEN Roy, o., May 2S, 1887.
To the Editor of the Standards
read in issue of the 18th inst article head
ed 1.-The Glen Roy Squabble,' in which the writers,
Messrs. Chas. Andres and VIM. Patterson, make use
of the following expressions MIR. Roy, others in
stgated by him. have been telling that the Board of
Examiners of county compelled Mr.. Herbert to
take Willie Roy into the upper room, or they would
revoke his certifcate."
As one of the ''others'' in the above, pro-
the statement false and malicious. False be-
cause my opposition to Mr.. Herbert had nothing to
do with his trouble with Mr.. Roy; that matter was
settled last winter, and had nothing do wit it,
and about it have had nothing 10 say; malicious,
because consider it exhibits me before the public
puppet in the hands of Mr.. Roy, to do with
as he pleases. have never been the tool of any
man, and never will be.
Before my election local director, Messrs. An
dres and Patterson hired Mr.. Herbert teacher for
next term; this got from themselves. After was
elected began making inquiry of pupils and parents
how Mr. Herbert had taught the last term and if he
was good teacher the answer in all cases was
satisfactory, and parents said they hoped would
not hire him again, If we did their children would
not attend school.
Mr.. Patterson discovered that Mr.. Herbert was not
legally hired and notified me to attend meeting of
directors to hire teachers, &C. attended meeting
and we hired the two lady teachers of last winter.
Mr.. Patterson said there but male applicant.
OF course that John T. Herber: 1 remarked
you have already hired him. Answer: ''Well,
and quested my associates not to be in hurry,
there was plenty of good timber in Jackson county;
that l understood a petition being circulated
and numerously signed not to employ Mr. Herbert.
At the next regular meeting the petition
brought in by Mr.. Cole, boss at the Emma Mine.
Messrs Patterson and Andres would not allow it to
be pre- sented. protested against this, but in the
face of everything they voted to hire Mr.. Herbert.
Comment on such Il South Carolina method is unnec-
essary. leave the public to judge.

One is apt to make comparison in
noting the things Of this life that are
occurring about him. At the National
Drill at Washington of course every
thing was conducted upon a fancy
basis, but it is quite ludicrous to COM
pare this fancy soldering with what
the boys would have to go through in
the field. A report from the encamp-
ment last week contained the follow
ing:
"At the close of the drill the bat
teries marched back to camp, and Bat
terry B enjoyed a short jollifcation,
after which a banquet was served with
the following: Soup, chicken broth,
with rice, roast beef, ribs of beef and
brown potatoes, fricasseed chicken, a
la merinese, baked pork and beans
American style. chicken pot-pie, veg
etables, mashed potatoes, sliced toma-
toes, sweet corn, asparagus, merinez
sauce, new beet fricasseed, straw berry
short cake, pound cake, raisins, cup
cake, ice cream, Strawberries, new
peaches, oranges, bananas, iced tea,
Java co flee, cigars"
That bill Of fare reminds us of a
supper we once had after long and
fatiguing march Our supper was eie-
CANT in its simplicity. It consisted of
parched corn. The next day the
trains came up, and we had a banquet,
on rasher of fat picked pork and a
hard tack.

An old soldier Of the Sixth Army
Corps during the war, has entered his
protest in a Washington interview,
against the act Of somebody in pin
ming the badge Of the old Sixth to
President Cleveland The Veteran
remarked, with reason, that the badge
had only been worn by those who
had won the right, by hard and dan
gerous service, to wear it, and he
thought the giving it to one whose
sympathies were against the boys in
the field, was rendering the old and
honorable badge very cheap.
This old Veteran is right. When
the brave boys of the old Sixth Corps
were fighting the Democrats over in
Virginia, Mr.. Cleveland and friends
were. throwing the weight of their in
fuence against the boys at the front,
and coulI they have been successful in
their purposes, would have made
the very name of Union Soldier con-
temptible. The placing Of the badge
of a Veteran fighting organization
upon a Democratic politician, is GER
tainly, as the old soldier suggested,
making honorS very cheap. There
has been to much Of the honorary
membership" business in the world.
Our Colleges, Societies and the like,
bestow honors upon those in no way
entitled to them, merely as mark of
respect. The manifestation of true
respect or admiration does not require
any such thing. 1t cannot be great
satisfaction to any man to Wear a
badge of honorary membership, and
it certainly ought to make Grover
Cleveland see a whole division of
spooks, to wear the badge of the old |
Sixth Corps.

The idea is suggested by an ex-
change that journalism ought to be
made profession. and men ought to
be educated for that as we'll as for
other professions The argument Is
that lawyers and doctors are educated
for their professions, and why not
journalists? The argument answers
itself. For the law, special course
of reading and preparation is of course
necessary, as the student is required
to adopt that special course of thought
and work in his business. The same
rule applies to the medical profession.
Yet how many lawyers have we
known to 60 through college, graduate
as lawyers, having finished their
course and become thoroughly fitted
to adorn the profession, who were not
fit to attempt to pettifog before JUS
tice of the Peace? And how many
doctors have we known who finished
their course of study, attended the
best of lectures, then took their places
in the professional world-only to be
considered ignominious failures?
A great deal depends upon the nat
raj ability and tact of the man. Per-
haps no business requires the exercise
of so much shrewdness and hard COM
mon sense as journalism, and while
| there are OF course men IN 1t who
ought to be out Of it, they do not gen.
orally succeed as we'll as those better
adapted to the business How would
you educate a man to write with
ability? The pyrotecnic display of
the literary field is not what people
want, as "a general thing. We have
heard college graduates deliver them
selves of speeches that were perfect
showers of Towering phrases, yet not
one of their hearers could remember
sentence two hours afterward, from
the fact that an attempt was made to
carry the audience by the power of
eloquent delivery, rather than the
merit of the production. The same
rule applies to literature. A great deal
of time in our public school system is
devoted to ''literary work" and the
commencement exercises of our col
leges ard schools are embellished by
numerous essays, prepared by each as
the greatest effort of his or her life,
and designed to impress the hearer
with the high order Of literary culture
that has been instllled into the mind
by the faculty. Yet, if it is desired to
find out the practical strength of that
mind, take one of the same graduates,
place him or her in position requir-
ing rapid thought and rapid work.
and let the printer call for a column
and half of copy, and the probability
is that the mind would utterly fail
to produce twenty lines of intelligent
composition. Not that the writer did
not possess ability in high degree,
but the rather because he or she was
not suited to the style of work i'm
posed. You might just as we'll at
tempt to educate man to have blue
eyes or black mustache or to wear
certain numbered boot, as to.educate
him to he a successful editor.

We have been led to remark, here

We have been led to remark, here
tofore, that Hon. John Sherman was
the most available candidate for the
Presidency, on the Republican side.
This was based upon the idea that Mr.
Blaine would not be a candidate, as
we have always been enthusiastically
for Blaine While still believing in
the strength of Sherman, as well as
that of Blaine, we must say that the
indications at present are that Mr..
Blaine will be. the nominee Of the Re-
publicans naxt year, and that he will
be able to carry New York, and will
give Mr.. Cleveland marching orders
from Washington. We recognize
the great difficulty in getting out an
administration in full control Of the
Government, but are not inclined to re-
gard it as impossible,

We are certainly sorry to see that

We are certainly sorry to see that
some of the young men of Jackson
and Wellston evince disposition to
get up a rivalry between the two towns.
The citizens of Jackson rejoice in
Wellston prosperity, and if we, down
here, could in any way add TO Well
ston's growth and business prosperity,
we would cheerfully do so. There
never can be any rivalry between the
two towns, and the talk of such a
thing is not only out of place, but ex-
cessively silly. We are glad that
Wellston has a great nail-mill, a good
Foundry, planning mills, Touring mills,
stores, and all that goes to make up
thriving town. IF Jackson, in ad-
dition to her great business interests
can successfully add a nail mill, gas
works, and other proposed business
extensions, we shall rejoice in that,
also 1t is the part of wisdom to use
every honest endeavor to build up not
only jackson and Wellston, but every
town in the County, and the interests
of every farm in the County. You
will usually find those who. talk the
most about booming towns, and about
the rivalry between towns, very un-
profitable citizens in every way, and
their whole energies devoted to trying
to tear down, rather than build up.
The talk Of the Wellston young men
only causes a laugh among the best
citizens here; we believe it is fair to
presume that the same rule applies to
Jackson young men and the good
citizens of Wellston.

gard It as impossible.

A citizen of Toledo has erected
and presented to the city statue of
the late Gen. Steadman. And no
man was ever more worthy of having
his memory perpetuated in that way
than "old Chickamauga," as the boys
loved to call him. Had the Union
side in the war been entirely officered
by such men as Thomas and Steadman,
the war would doubtless have ended
sooner, and the work would have been
more thorough. No soldier will
forget either Of them.
